Enforcer's Handbook

In version 2.0, the identities of Chaiko terrorists have not been changed.

In the end, he decided to give back to the world in a vigorous way. For him, the greatest success was not to kill or defeat someone, but to welcome everyone to this new world that they were unfamiliar with.

"In my opinion, if we measure a villain in terms of a series, the requirements for them should not only be limited to how much damage they have caused, but what kind of impact they will have on the protagonist."

Movies are different from reality. In the virtual world, people can always give any dark and cruel story a romantic ending, and the audience will know the moment they walk into the cinema, no matter what the villain in the play is brewing The conspiracy will eventually be foiled by the protagonist.

At least in the world of the movie, they still artificially achieve the point where evil prevails over good.

No matter what version of Chai Ke, it is impossible to really blow up "Libra", so in the movie, the message he wants to convey will eventually stop at the protagonist, that is, the "enthusiastic citizen".

Just now, the screenwriters of Kolo Film and Television Media used practical actions to create the image of an "enthusiastic citizen" who was born in a big company.

The limit of his understanding of evil is the same as when a screenwriter makes up an improvised story. He believes that the evil in this city originates from some madmen who are unhappy with life. He is born with financial resources, power and ability, and naturally believes that everyone has it. The right to choose your own life.

"I roughly understand what you mean."

The director fell into deep contemplation. The Chai Ke described by Song Lan is no longer the familiar image of someone who does evil for the sake of evil. To him, blowing up "Libra" is more like a challenge and destruction of existing rules. .

In contrast, their conception of "enthusiastic citizens" still focuses on the evil in front of them.

What Song Lan said just now raised a new question.

What expectations do they have for this city based on District 17 in the movie?

In their original conception, this was a city with sky-high crime rates, severe economic recession, and full of social contradictions. However, all their imaginations still remained at the level of scenery, such as designing some dilapidated and old houses, or Design a gang fight on the streets.

In fact, they didn't really follow this setting.

If the evil in this city has corrupted the rules themselves, then from a certain perspective, wouldn’t Chai Ke, who challenged these rules, also have legitimacy?

In the past, they did not consider giving legitimacy to villains. In movies, good guys are good guys and bad guys are bad guys. They will have obvious labels as soon as they appear, and the audience does not need to distinguish them.

Putting aside whether to listen to Song Lan's opinion, the director was now interested in the character itself. He couldn't help but ask, "Suppose, I mean suppose that Chai Ke finally achieves his goal and blows up "Libra". What kind of changes can it bring to the current situation of the city?”

"He will be a legend that people talk about, but it won't change anything other than fame."

"Wouldn't it make any difference?"

The director repeated in astonishment, the confusion in his eyes deepening, "Then why does he still do this?"

"That's the difference between a terrorist and a revolutionary, and what we're talking about now is a villain."

Chai Ke, who wants to blow up "Libra", is equivalent to the evil itself bred by this city. He represents anger, unwillingness and endless desire for destruction.

"He will not and does not want to change the existing rules. This is cathartic on an emotional level."

Assuming that Chai Ke really blows up "Libra", people who hate big companies will regard him as a legend, and the whole city will celebrate for three days, and then do whatever they want. After all, life will continue, and time will not Stay at the moment when the nuclear weapon explodes.

And once he really succeeds, it will have a stronger impact on the local law enforcement environment.

When he becomes a legend, more and more people will imitate his behavior. If you can't blow up "Libra", you can blow up the inspection department and law enforcement department. If you can't blow up these, then you can blow up book kiosks and newsstands. The street shop, blowing up everything they can think of that is disgusting.

So whether it's a movie or reality, Song Lan would never want such a villain to realize his ideals.

"This is why 'enthusiastic citizens' must stop Chai Ke even if they can understand his motives. Chai Ke wants to achieve more than just his personal ideals. He also uses his own death to bring about a carnival of destruction."

Song Lan felt that he was really worried about the crew. Fortunately, he had seen enough movies, and there was no overlap between 2166 and the 2020 he was familiar with in the movie field, so that he could directly copy many settings created by his predecessors.

If this trend develops, the relationship between "enthusiastic citizens" and Chai Ke will be similar to Batman and the Joker.

The city they live in is even more desperate than Gotham.

The power of the coalition government and big businesses has reached a point where it is almost irresistible. When the Foster family controls District 17, even if a clown does appear, they will strangle it in the cradle...

Huh?

Thinking of this, Song Lan was suddenly stunned.

Because he found that his approach was similar to that of the Joker in challenging the existing rules and driving the big family out of District 17.

He does not have Batman's principles of saving and not killing. He will never hesitate at all when encountering someone who threatens him.

The clown is actually me?

But fortunately, he has no idea of ​​releasing nuclear weapons to large enterprises or even core areas for the time being. Compared with pure destruction, he is currently more concerned about how to develop the military power of the 17th District, because he knows that in reality, blowing up "Libra" It was of no use at all. The Foster family disappeared, but another big family replaced them.

Only by liberating the city economically and militarily from the control of big businesses and big families can real change be brought about.

"What, what new idea did you come up with?"

Seeing that Song Lan was deep in thought, the director quickly asked. He was very interested in this kind of alternative villain.

This is a road that has never been tried before, and it may be an excellent opportunity.

"How to change this city is the work of an 'enthusiastic citizen', and the resources he has at his disposal may just be able to promote certain changes."

What Song Lan didn't expect was that his identity as a senior executive of a large company that was originally used for land washing seemed to have a certain effect. In this era where big families and companies have absolute control over the lower levels, if he wants to initiate changes, he may still have to You have to rely on their strength.

This is like their law enforcement department can only clean up criminal groups on the border trade lines. If they want to take over the trade lines, they will need the power of the Seventeenth District Government and even the Twelfth Country.

"Change does not happen overnight, and it may be the content of the next few movies."

As the actor of Chai Ke, he completed the historical task of gloriously defeating the street in the first step. How the story of the movie develops in the future has nothing to do with him.
